After years of investment and billions spent, any chance of U.S. companies profiting _wildly _from AI has been destroyed by China's open-source models—especially those like DeepSeek.

I don't mean existing closed models aren't useful anymore, but realistically, 90% (or even more) of what can be accomplished with a proprietary model can now be done with an open-source alternative.

This has clearly devastated profit expectations, and investors—who poured money into speculative AI ventures—should be furious. (Think about all money that has being spent so far and remember about R$500 billion investment announcement by OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank)

Could this have been triggered the retaliation into tariffs from the U.S. against China, after they have been destroyed the most prominent and speculative profit market ever created?

Hey HN - I'm Mason, and I'm excited to share a fun side project I've been working on recently: Repo Roast.

For me, Github often feels like a serious (and sometimes soulless) place. I built this website to showcase the human, silly side of developers. Repo Roast is built on top of LLM-powered GitHub analytics tooling we’re developing internally at Merit Systems [0].

One of the historically cited weak points for LLMs has been their sense of humor. I found that with the right prompt, at scale, they mostly can _identify_ humor pretty well. We experimented with a couple of different models to tune the cost/effectiveness and eventually landed on a strategy where we have gpt-4o-mini do a very light filter pass to reduce the number of calls to GPT-4o to do the actual humor scoring. Interestingly, our first prompt attempts ended up surfacing wayyy more aggressively NSFW content, which is funny that this happens despite all the censoring that OpenAI is doing.

So far we have processed the last 90 days of historical comments and continuously process new ones every hour. We theoretically can run this against a wider historical window given there is sufficient interest to justify the costs!

Repo Roast is in no way intended to make you a better or more productive dev. You can use it as a leaderboard or hiring tool (if you’re looking for personality), or just a way to distract yourself!

If you've had any funny Github interactions, I'd love if you shared them below.

Cheers!

--Mason
